Interesting - you would imagine a professor of astronomy would be aware of the existence of objects older than 6000 years.

I don't think that it was mentioned in the article that he promotes that or adheres to that belief. I believe that the universe is many billions of years old. I believe that matter does not or has not, and cannot spontaneously comes into existence. I do not believe that science ever has observed it, or has advanced a arguable theory that it can or has. Therfore I think there must be a reason we are here besides 'it just happened.'

That being said I think the arguments about creation/evolution or intelligent design/big bang are just distractions for those who believe in God. We don't need to be trying to prove our faith in a classroom, we need to be proving in the lives of people we encounter by caring about our neighbors and taking care of those in need. It would change people more if we still cared about those we disagree with rather than trying to make them agree with our views on the origins of the universe and man.

An intelligent post. Thanks. The best anyone can do, at present, is to state his case as ‘theory.’ What develops and becomes provable is for the future to decide.

‘I don’t think that it was mentioned in the article that he promotes that or adheres to that belief.’

Thank you. You are the first person who chose to try to answer my question instead of sneering.
